Be near me when all else is from me drifting;   Earth, sky, home's pictures, days of shade and shine, And kindly faces to my own uplifting   The love that answers mine. I have but Thee, my Father! let Thy spirit   Be with me then to comfort and uphold; No gate of pearl, no branch of palm I merit,   Nor street of shining gold. Suffice it if -- my good and ill unreckoned,   And both forgiven through Thy abounding grace - I find myself by hands familiar beckoned   Unto my fitting place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgotten is forgiven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65159]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgotten is forgiven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3434]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some report elsewhere whatever is told them; the measure of fiction always increases, and each fresh narrator adds something to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some report elsewhere whatever is told them; the measure of fiction always increases, and each fresh narrator adds something to what he has heard. [Lat., Hi narrata ferunt alio; mensuraque ficti  Crescit et auditus aliquid novus adjicit auctor.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18184]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17681]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honeymoon: A short period of doting between dating and debting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53286]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honeymoon: A short period of doting between dating and debting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53302]]></link><description><![CDATA[Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Burnout is nature's way of telling you, you've been going through the motions your soul has departed; you're a zombie, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4996]]></link><description><![CDATA[Burnout is nature's way of telling you, you've been going through the motions your soul has departed; you're a zombie, a member of the walking dead, a sleepwalker.

Trample not on any; there may be some work of grace there, that thou knowest not of.
